Lyrics

I've got a steady dull pain that still nags at me

Lie awake at night with old memories

I'm in a padded room in the Chino jail

My father's gonna kill me if he posts my bail

There's a devil on my shoulder and he won't depart

And an angel there to fix mama's broken heart

There may be better days down the road I'm on

But every billboard reminds me of the wrong I've done

Cause fools rushing were angels feared to tread

And the truth of that knocked me upside the head

When the world is quiet I want to scream out loud

Lord, why can't I just be here now

I've got a lot of trepidation for the trail ahead

Will I strike it rich or just wind up dead

I've been rolling for doubles, getting twos and threes

Lost my ass at the tables but still won't leave

Could a love come along to calm this storm

On the dark, cold nights will she keep me warm

If I ain't troubled 'bout the future, I'm stuck in the past

Flying through the present just waiting to crash

The story's better if you don't skip ahead

And there's a couple pages that you'll wish you hadn't read

When the world is quiet I want to scream out loud

Lord, why can't I just be here now

Cause fools rushing were angels feared to tread

And the truth of that knocked me upside the head

When the world is quiet I want to scream out loud

Lord, why can't I just be here now

Thank you very much

So, yeah, I heard Kyle say, be here now, and I went

All right, that's what we're starting with

So this last couple months have been very busy

For my wife and I

She was not my wife three months ago

And we got married on May 25th, 525, 25

And we went from here down to Arizona

And then across the country playing shows

And having a honeymoon

But it makes the honeymoon a tax write-off, so

And we drove all the way down to the Keys

And played some shows down there and had a great honeymoon

And drove all the way back here and it's good to be back

We got back about three weeks ago, I think

And a good way to find out how well you get along with somebody

Is to move into a camper with them

And travel across the country

And so that's kind of what this song's about

But it's actually about a bigger point

Which is the big question

Is it about the journey or the destination

And I found out that it's about neither

It's about the company

And I've got some good company around here, so

I've got some good company around here, so

This song's called Ain't the Journey
